Gone are the days when restrictive cubicles epitomized work spaces. In this digital time and age, not just workplaces but workforce is also evolving. They are no longer restricted to the four walls of a office space but spread across numerous locations. For any organization, employee communication and collaboration is vital to achieve success. The same applies for financial institutions like Credit Unions.

This creates an invisible barrier hindering communication between employees across the organization. These barriers have detrimental impact on the day-to-day activities of credit unions as well as employee engagement, productivity and revenue.
